don't get me wrong either, I would shoot the bastard who had my kid. Faced with the situation we all would act differently. I am not saying Elizabeth is a fault. What wrong did she do? If she ran away, it's poor judgement. There isn't any crime commited. Just the load of worry on her family. YOu have no idea how many of those troubled teens are living here in VA. Beach. All of them for different reasons, and because they ran, they are afraid to call home for help. Trust me! Elizabeth could have been in the same situation. Instead of facing the assumed wrath at home, they stay in the predicament currently in. Mitchell, used poor judgement in keeping her if this is the case.

I just can't believe you could go to that place based on the evidence. Nobody ever, ever came out and said that Elizabeth was troubled. No friends ever came forward, no family ever came forward. She has never been portrayed as anything but an angelic child. It's an illogical leap for you to make.
